The School of Humanities at Tougaloo College is where the arts come alive with music, literature, as well as interdisciplinary studies. Through studio challenges and writing-intensive classes, students are encouraged to develop skills as independent, analytical, critical thinkers and to deepen their appreciation for, and awareness of, all contributions to the arts from a global perspective. Students may also pursue courses that prepare them for careers in journalism, communications, education, business, or law. Study in the Humanities increases analytical skills and communication abilities to prepare the graduate for a broad range of career options.
